KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has set three days from Nov 10 to hear a defamation suit filed by the father of Nurin Jazlin against the police for portraying him as a person who might have borrowed money from Ah Long (loan sharks) which resulted in her abduction.
Deputy registrar K. Pavani fixed the date in her chambers yesterday after meeting Senior Federal Counsel Zureen Elina Mohd Dom, who acted for the defendants, and lawyer Mazilah Abu Bakar for the plaintiff.
Zureen said Pavani had ordered the parties to file remaining witness statements by July for the hearing proper.
